Hohner Echo Harp 56/96 Double Sided Tremolo Harmonica – C/G

The Hohner Echo Harp 56/96 C/G is one of the most iconic tremolo harmonicas ever produced, known for its rich, shimmering sound and traditional craftsmanship. A long-time favourite among folk and traditional musicians, it delivers a unique “accordion-like” tone perfect for melodic playing.

This double-sided “Wender” harmonica features two keys in one instrument — C on one side and G on the other — allowing players to quickly switch keys by flipping the harmonica. This makes it highly versatile for live performance and traditional music styles.

Built with a double lacquered maple wood comb and 0.9 mm brass reed plates, the Echo Harp offers durability, strong projection, and a warm tonal character. The tremolo tuning creates a natural chorus effect by slightly detuning paired reeds, producing its signature full and vibrant sound. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}
